La Liga – Malaga vs Barcelona Predictions
Over the last couple of seasons, the matches between the two teams of Malaga and Barcelona might have been considered somewhat of a top-of-the-table clash, but no more, as the millions invested in the Malaga projected have stopped coming, while Barca have remained exactly in the same place they’ve been for the last five years.

Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge & Simon Mignolet In Charge of Perfect Start
It’s funny to think that Daniel Sturridge might have been the odd man out in the Liverpool striker situation considering his prolific start to the season while Luis Suarez is out, suspended.

Baltimore Ravens – Joe Flacco Between Perfection and Awfulness
In what could only be described as a two-faced performance from the Baltimore Ravens, the easiest thing to notice was Joe Flacco acting like the all-commanding Super Bowl MVP he is on some drives and making the simplest of mistakes on others, showing he’s not quite ready to be the perfect quarterback some expect him to be.

New England Patriots – Tom Brady Responsible for Some Ugly Offense
In what is probably his final preseason appearance in 2013, Tom Brady looked disjointed and confused in an awful offensive performance, as the New England Patriots failed to get anything done with their first-team offense and had to wait until the final minute of the game in order to score their only touchdown.
